Podcast: A Bipolar, a Schizophrenic, and the Psych Central Show
As hard as it is to believe, Gabe Howard hosts another podcast, but with a different co-host! Michelle Hammer is his co-host on A Bipolar, a Schizophrenic, and a Podcast (AKA BSP). In this episode, she and Gabe chat with Vincent M. Wales about how she and Gabe met (spoiler: their stories don’t exactly match) and how the BSP podcast came to exist. Additionally, they clear up some of the misconceptions about their show, share a few words about person-first language, and explain just why the show has a “mature” rating. And don’t forget to listen to episode 007 of BSP, which features this same trio, together in person ...

Podcast: Life With Schizophrenia – One Man’s Experience
The onset of mental illness can upend our lives in many ways. In this episode, we speak with a young man living with schizophrenia and hear about the impact it has had on him and his family. He describes his life before his diagnosis and the first symptoms of what would turn out to be schizophrenia. In addition to sharing the trauma of this diagnosis, he speaks of his treatment and how, in hopes of joining the Army, he stopped his treatment (with predictable results). He offers advice for those newly diagnosed with schizophrenia and for their parents, stressing how important it is to have loved ones who are accepting and s...

How well can university roommates judge each other ’s distress levels?
By Christian Jarrett
With suicide among university students on the increase in England and Wales, there’s an urgent need to find better ways to support those students who are experiencing distress. Many campuses have provisions in place, such as student counselling services, but students often prefer to turn to their peers in times of need. This raises the possibility that students themselves are best placed to sound the alarm if and when one of their friends is going through a crisis. A new study from the US – where there are similar concerns about student mental health issues – has investigated how well colleg...

Supreme Court of the United Kingdom Refuses Appeal in Alfie Evans Medical Futility Case
In February 2018, the UK High Court determined that it was no longer in Alfie Evans' best interests for ventilation to be provided to him.
It followed that it was not lawful for ventilation to continue to be provided to him, whether at Alder Hey or anywhere else. There was a mass of evidence, including from experts instructed on behalf of the parents, which justified the judge’s conclusion.
Alfie's parents appealed to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Since that court will not re-review factual issues, the parents challenged the application of the "best interest" standard, arguing for a "significant harm"...

Brainwave evidence hints at benefits from a school mindfulness programme
By Emma Young
Recent studies of mindfulness schools programmes for teenagers have produced mixed results, with some failing to find benefits, even when extra features were added to try to make them more effective. But given the demonstrated benefits of mindfulness training on stress and wellbeing in adults – and the urgent need to find ways to reduce stress and prevent depression in teenagers – it’s not surprising that researchers are pursuing work in the area.
Advocates of mindfulness for kids may, then, take some comfort from a new study in Developmental Science that found an 8-week training programme improved emo...

Over simulated? Simulation; surely one of the fastest growing parts of health education in recent times. There is much more to simulation than a plastic mannequin and healthcare is but a small part of the bigger picture. Matt McPartlin went along to the Australasian Simulation Congress and spoke to ICU nurse and co-convenor Jessica Stokes-Parish.
We sent Matt MacPartlin off to pretend to be a submariner, a jet pilot and an ICU Nurse. He wasn’t qualified for any of these...
